PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT "INSIDE"
GALLERY
"...... Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. ... There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine. ....." ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
"Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear." ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
"....Most things are forgotten over time. Even the war itself, the life-and-death struggle people went through is now like something from the distant past. .... But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever...." ― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
this rusty iron head on the left side is an allegory of our fears. they dominate us and ruin us. you can see profile - skull is going out from eye, opened frozen in shout mouth. and these 2 black holes in the body.. destructed body with skull in horizontal position on the shoulder. hands that can not move - moment of stop is like a stroke about invisible barrier. and all textures and effect of sinking or decay.. examine it - crackles create flowers and butterflies - dualism-beauty and ugliness
black profile of fears reflects like a stamp on the body as a face of the death - ugly scaring but defenceless naked and all these black holes are deconstruction but at the same moment a way out but for something new - puzzle and ambiguity of everything - we see what we want to see at the end. mind is a film director of movie we watch every day day by day. we draw us and world we live in. and this is just our perception of life.
many pictures of this project are abstraction but with clear images inside. if you will carefully look around this and some other works you will find a head on the shoulder that recalls to work of Edvard Munch "The scream". i did not do it with purpose - it happened by chance when i experimented with layers of rusty iron. On the left top part of photo you can see 3 profiles attack the person - this is an allegory of our fears, doubts, phobias. on the belly it is possible to see some broken face
this work as many others also is a very interesting for detailed view. it is abstraction only on first opinion - there are many hidden symbols inside. on the right top side there is a half of the face separating from body and looking down, profile of fears, shape of body as split by a half heart, pieces, crackles, light and emptiness, etc. i showed just a few examples - enjoy your own way to discover my works and i am always opened to explain more about this project and answer on all questions.
